Dysgonia stuposa
A small moth of size around 1.5 inch. ID help needed.
i wonder how similar our spottings are.

I think it would be good to see this link too. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dysgonia
Sergio ask about the mechanisms of the new IDing. I will check this, need some more time. For sure these relegations and corrections of families, genus and species are based upon new scientific evidence, usually there is in a taxonomic organisation an editorial board which would discuss this items. One widely accepted organisation for European species would for example be this one:

Fantastic discussion guys..! Thanks a lot for the ID Nuwan and Dominic..:-)
I am wondering how they would handle this. In my eyes Bastilla and Dysgonia looks quite different. And making complexes of species is always easy for them if one have not to bother about the mess it will be afterwards with all these complexes.
i wonder what is the latest taxonomic status, there is no Dysgonia in Moths of bornio site !
:-)... Thanks Nuwan. As I understood (but maybe I am too stupid or stuposa for that): Parallelia is now Dysgonia and Bastilla will also be in this group??
agreed Dominik, no need to argue ;-)
read the last comment !!

OK, Nuwan, you challenge my ID and I challenge yours! Let's see who has the better arguments ;-)... Dysgonia sp., look at the apex of the forewing, there I can see 2 spots, one is spiky. The dark patch in the middle of the forewing is some kind of scalloped. This might be variable as it seems. Bastilla sp: Only one dark spot in the middle of the apex and in the patch mentioned above I see only a "bow".
Noctuidae, Catocalinae, Ophiusini, Bastilla sp. not sure about the species !!
Noctuidae, Catocalinae, Ophiusini, Dysgonia stuposa sometimes also called Parallelia stuposa. Nuwan my confirm or correct, I am not 100% sure about the species (genus I think is correct).
